Y'all, I am so fucking sick and tired of Black people saying other Black people "act/talk white." #Rant #Thread
My anger about this today comes from a comment a Black woman made to me about how annoyed she is that the Obama girls "act white."
Full disclosure: this type of comment really bothers me because I've been told for most of my life that I "act/talk white."
First of all, as a 36-year-old woman, why are you talking shit about teenage girls?!! Insecure much? #ItsNotCute
Secondly, I shouldn't have 2 say this after all we've been thru but if you're Black, you're Black It doesn't matter what you sound/act like.
Furthermore, if anyone is confused about the race of the Obama girls or myself, non-Black ppl and the police can quickly answer that for you
If the police kill me, will I be Black enough for you then?
Black ppl are quick 2 tell non-Black ppl we're not a monolith but as soon as u step outside the box of "authentic Blackness" ur acting white
At the end of the day, we belong 2 each other. So let's support and protect each other no matter how we choose to speak or express ourselves
Because if we don't, no one else is gonna do it for us. #rantover

#Thread In 2016, @farmaajo run on a campaign of change and reform; and made a case for a fight against corruption & cronyism which has crippled governance in Somalia. Since his win, a myth of change and reform has been created despite an overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Rather than fight against the entrenched the status quo @M_Farmaajo has in fact helped in deeply entrenching Somalia’s unsustainable rent-seeking elite.
One of @M_Farmaajo main election selling point has been his promise to appoint a lean and efficient technocratic cabinet. Since coming to power, in a desperate attempt of self-preservation, @M_Farmaajo has stuffed his government with almost 100-MPs.

This whole boer vs kaffir debate reminds me why I reserve my harshest criticism for white liberals #Thread
I read a book by Robin DiAngelo called White Fragility. I implore all white people to read it because yes you guessed it, you are the target market.
Like waves on sand, the reactions of white liberals form predictable patterns; they will insist that they “were taught to treat everyone the same,” that they are “color-blind,” that they “don’t care if you are pink, purple, or polka-dotted.”

Many are praying to a God they quietly resent.

#thread
The low currency of resentment comes from an insidious frustration we experience from trying so hard without permanent success to conform to His standards of good behaviour and conduct.
The way we were taught already destined us to doomsday. On the one hand, we know we need Him, but on the other, we are crippled by our repetitive failure to obey His commandments - commandments we were told were fundamental to His acceptance of us.

Today is the debate between Georgia governor candidates @staceyabrams & her opponent, who is currently GA's Secretary of State. I'm sure you've seen that there are active attempts to suppress votes. Lawsuits have been filed. But as if that wasn't enough... (#thread) #TeamAbrams
A month ago, white supremacists threaten violence at a Stacey Abrams campaign event. Where was the media outrage? It was largely non-existent. Do you even remember hearing about this? Ask yourself why not. #TeamAbrams dailykos.com/stories/2018/9…
After national outlets finally began picking up the story, local outlets started providing weak explanations. The @ajc (Atlanta's major paper) “both sided” the incident by comparing white supremacists to Democratic socialists. Because, you know, dog whistle. #TeamAbrams

It's back-to-school time so I want to share a little of my experience with being a Black admin in a school with 48% white students. This is specifically for parents of Black children so you know what happens in schools & are able to disrupt this issue with "discipline". #thread
I walked into a team teacher meeting (they're all white) who was to be doing curriculum planning. Instead, they switched it up and decided to call kids out of class to talk to them about their "behavior". I'll keep putting that in quotes since it was a nefarious act.
The Ts are on one side of the table and a Black student, we'll call him X, was on the other. He was slumped over, picking at his fingers. Walking in and seeing this I asked, "What's this?" They told me they were trying to talk to him about what he does in class. It smelled fishy.

1. La rému des enseignants. #Thread
Je suis tombé sur un Nième post de prof se plaignant de sa rémunération misérable.
Simple rappel de ma part que le prof moyen est rémunéré (rémunéré, j’insiste, le terme est important) environ 65 k€ par an. Un poil plus, on va pas chipoter.
2. Réaction : insulte (abruti, crétin des alpes, etc.), rire gras ahah où est mon yacht, t’y connais rien, t’es jaloux, halte au prof bashing, t’as qu’a le devenir si c’est si génial, usage de bouclier humain, et j’en passe.
Normal, quoi, c’est tweeter.
3. Non, tous les profs ne sont pas aussi ignorants ET infects, mais ils sont ~1 Million, alors vous en trouverez assez pour remplir une TL de ce genre de chose ou de likes. J’ai les noms (non, en fait, je m’en balec)
